WORD OF THE LORD
Sunday – March 22, 2020, Adar 26, 5780
Greetings to the wonderful friends and partners of this Ministry. Welcome back to this Sunday series of Bible Studies. Today’s publication is of extraordinary importance therefore I urgently request that you give this Word from the Throne of Heaven the widest possible circulation. If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment to “love” and “share” this teaching. For the last three Sundays I have been teaching on being a Joint-Heir in Christ Jesus. I am pausing those teachings today and for five additional weeks to address the Corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic, plague (pestilence) engulfing the earth. The teaching concerning us being Joint-Heirs in Christ Jesus will resume on the 10th of May with part four and part five on the 17th. This pestilence (plague) is unrestrained by the Church. I will talk about the impotence of the Church lots more today and in the coming weeks. In the early morning hours of Sunday, March 15, 2020 the Lord spoke to me about this pandemic. As Scripture might record, the Word of the Lord came unto me saying.
- False faith leads to humiliation. The corona virus is going to explode with fury with many deaths and the lack of faith in the Church will be exposed to an even greater extent and will be humiliated, ashamed.
- Go to your knees before me, before the devil brings you to your knees. This has happened over and over to my people and I had to allow it because of rebellion against the Word.
- My people do not need to suffer, come out of bondage, come out of idolatry, walk in the Truth.
- My people love to quote 2 Chronicles 7:14 but they do not do it.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
- Repent and fear not.
These were the major points the Lord gave me in a moments time. There is much talk about faith in the Church but there is little to no evidence of supernatural faith. False faith (talk without corresponding action or results) leads to humiliation due to prayer failure. There are persons in any given congregation that have the faith necessary to defeat this virus without harm, however, the congregation as a whole does not have that kind of faith. The Church is already in a state of shame and humiliation because of this lack of faith. The Church is full of sickness and disease so to think that there is now faith to defeat this one virus is faulty thinking, a deception of the devils. We need to get about the business of the Kingdom building our faith and quit having to kowtow to the devil. The Church needs to immediately get about building faith (Romans 10:17) all the while taking the steps recommended by our government and health leaders like the Centers of Disease Control (CDC). We do not need to rebel against the government and allow our Churches to become a hotbed of disease and a threat to the community.
Anytime we find stealing, killing, and destroying to be present in our lives the first step is always repentance. The devil cannot bring these things into our lives at his whim. Instead we by sin, unbelief, open the door and in effect invite stealing, killing, and destroying into our lives. It is time for us, the Church, to repent, and feed on the pure Word of God, move beyond the milk of the Word, casting away the traditions of men, and the doctrines of devils. We are the governing authority in the earth, when will we believe it and do it (govern). The devil brought the children of Israel to their knees over and over (captivity) due to their disobedience. Dear ones we (Church) are already in captivity and don’t even know it like a frog in cold water being slowly brought to a boil.
The cares of life and the electronics of our time have become our idols and we are all too happy to have our ears tickled by the traditions of men and the doctrines of devils. I will be talking about 2 Chronicles 7:14 in some depth over the coming weeks. For decades we have enjoyed talking about it but we have not done it. We must repent renewing our minds with the pure Word of God and take every imagination, and every high thing into captivity to the scrutiny of the Anointed Word of God.
Romans 12:2 (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
The thing that will stop this pestilence in its tracks is the repentance by each of us individually, as Churches, whole denominations across America, and finally the nation. The Lord said to repent and fear not. Fear is the belief that the Lord will not do as promised. Now back to Sunday morning the 15th of March. Later in Sunday School that day there was teaching about boundaries and allowing people to suffer the consequences of their own decisions. God understands boundaries and wants us to as well. The Church has gone the way of Baal, they have made decisions to follow the way of the world and thus will get the results of the world which is stealing, killing, and destroying. That is to say the consequences of our actions. If we will repent and follow His way, we will have the abundant life. Most of the body of Christ is unaware of the need to repent, many don’t even know what they might repent of yet they are not experiencing the abundant life but the curse stealing, killing, and destroying. Obedience to the Word of God always brings the blessing (abundant life), disobedience always brings the curse (stealing, killing, and destroying).
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
